Questions about using Poultry Shiled
« on: July 01, 2011, 13:07 »
How dangerous is it to children and chickens? (I'm slightly nervous about the phrase "Kills all organic matter"  ??? ) How careful do I need to be that they don't go near the coop after it's been sprayed?
It say clean or brush off after an hour. But the coop was pretty clean before I sprayed it - do I still need to wash off the solution?
Do I need to spray the outside or just the inside? (I'm using it as a preventative rather than to treat an existing problem).
Thanks!

I've always used a diluted solution, sprayed it, then wiped a bit if there are pools of fluid, but no more than that.  The chucks have never been excluded from the area and seem to be fine.
Hopefully someone who has more scientific knowledge will come along soon though :-)
The children have always been nearby and also don't seem to suffer any ill effects - my 4 year old sprayed it in his eye a while back  ::) and we rinsed it with some water (a lot! - much to his screams!)  and all seems to be fine!

Ok - this link tells you how to use it and then you can try to download the product data sheet.  Not sure if I'm allowed to cut and paste it directly into this post.
